So why are those close to Jones telling reporters the Cowboys continue to look at bringing in another passer?

The Cowboys, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Clarence E. Hill Jr., had scouts at several preseason games this weekend to check out QBs that could be available soon. Miami’s John Beck and Josh McCown are possibilities after the Dolphins signed Chad Pennington. Tampa Bay’s Chris Simms could also be on the market, with the Bucs using his performance Saturday as a selling point (6 for 10 for 60 yards).

Johnson, who never had a strong arm, just can’t make certain throws any more. What’s even worse is he’s even more immobile than Drew Bledsoe was at the end of his career. With that said, Dallas would be in real trouble if they have to turn to “Check Down” for an extended period.
